Suzzara

Province: Mantua · Region: Lombardy · Population: 20,545 · Postal code: 46029

On November 9, 1923, a royal decree elevated Suzzara to city status, acknowledging its rapid industrial rise. The turning point occurred decades earlier in 1891, with the founding of the Fratelli Casali agricultural machinery plant. Today, that mechanical legacy thrives at the local Iveco factory, shaping a community with deep-rooted socialist and working-class traditions.

Situated on the right bank of the Po river, this municipality of 20,545 residents was historically fought over by Mantua and Reggio Emilia. Beyond its industrial output, it holds a notable place in the art world as the "City of the Prize," hosting the renowned Premio Suzzara exhibition at its local gallery.
